City prepare for the JPT 2nd Round Draw

No, you're not imagining things, I did just use the words "City" and "2nd Round" in the same sentence. The Imps have made it through to the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for the second year in a row, both coming from byes given to us by the Football League.

No, you're not imagining things, I did just use the words "City" and "2nd Round" in the same sentence. The Imps have made it through to the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy for the second year in a row, both coming from byes given to us by the Football League.
The Imps haven't progressed through to the 2nd Round by actually winning a first round match since 2003/4. A 3-1 win over Telford saw City progress to a home fixture against Chesterfield. City took the lead on three occasions, only to see that lead quickly erased before The Imps progressed to the Northern Quarter Final, an away trip at Halifax Town. The original fixture was cancelled and it was replayed a week later, although the fog that initially postponed it must have still been in the Imps' eyes as Kevin Sandwith scored for Halifax with pretty much the only shot of the game.
Since then Doncaster Rovers, Tranmere Rovers and Grimsby Town have all put City out in the First Round. The Imps were given a bye last season to the second round but despite taking an early lead from the spot, City were well and truly spanked by Joel Porter and Hartlepool United, losing 5-2.
POTENTIAL 2ND ROUND OPPONENTS |
Darlington |
Grimsby Town |
Huddersfield Town |
Leeds United |
Leicester City |
Rotherham United |
Scunthorpe United |
City were again given a bye this season and now the Imps know their potential opponents. The second round will again be regionalised and that means that City will face one of the teams on the right. Grimsby Town only joined that party thanks to a penalty shoot out win over Chesterfield, that despite the latter having 66% of the posession.
A lot of City fans will be hoping to secure a draw against either Leeds United or Leicester City, easily the biggest two sides in the draw. However, the Imps fans will be hoping to avoid a trip to Rotherham United's Don Valley. The Imps have already experienced the "joys" of the Don Valley this season........it's almost inevitable really isn't it?

I'd love that but Lincoln are the type of club that only get one decent draw in a decade and we had that against Forest last season.

All of those bar Darlo look top notch.
Leeds is the one I want though.
Not that I will be able to go.

I have a feeling for a little cup run this season. Hopefully the FA cup though with a juicy 3rd round.
Wouldn't mind Leeds in this one, probably our only chance of raising a little money in this pointless competition. Pointless that is, unless you get down to the last 4/8.
